http://alumnibusinesscamp.net/closing-abc-tallinn/#respondSun, 10 Dec 2017 18:27:03 +0000http://alumnibusinesscamp.net/?p=487After 9 intensive months of planning, communicating, promoting and organising, ABC Tallinn is finally over! During the 3 days of the event, we networked, inspired each other and exchanged valuable information. The setting of Tallinn as an established start-up environment was ideal and helped us attract many participants and also very interesting speakers.

In case you missed ABC this year, here are some highlights from the event:

Through the inertia and energy created during the event, we decided to already announce our next edition that will take place in The Netherlands. Miguel Eduardo Gil Biraud (a.k.a. Franchu) stepped in as our content responsible for the next edition and we are already in planning mode! So stay tuned for updates and see you next year in The Netherlands!

P.S. If you are curious about the faces of our participants, please check our picture feed (generously created by Andres Garcia)

It’s 18th of August, holidays are over, temperatures are dropping and…. the early bird deadline for ABC is in only 10 days!

So, if in the midst of summer vacations and traveling you missed the news, now it is your chance! Apply for ABC 2017 with a reduced fee until the 28th of August!

P.S. Here are six reasons why being an early bird can help you be a better entrepreneur (besides saving money on events of course)

We are coming back with news regarding ABC: The applications for the event are now open! In case you missed the news, we are having an ABC again this year! The event will take place in Tallinn from 25 to 27 November and today, we are launching the applications for the event!

If you want to find out more about ABC and how can you apply, then please read on:

What?
ABC (standing for Alumni Business Camp) is an event targeted at alumni of BEST with the scope of networking, learning about entrepreneurship, exchanging ideas, and collaborating while having fun. This year we are preparing a programme focused on the topic of digital transformation – when bits meet businesses. You can read more information about the topic on our website

Where?
This year’s edition will be organised in one of the most dynamic places in Europe, with regard to entrepreneurship: Tallinn, the capital of Estonia! We have booked a fitting location in town: The SpringHub coworking space. SpringHub is located close to the center of the town, reachable by public transportation. They offer great conference and workshop rooms and an awesome atmosphere of entrepreneurial spirit.

When?
ABC will take place from November 25 to 27, Saturday noon to Monday noon. We will also organise a more relaxing post-ABC at the same location so that we can follow-up some of the work we will initiate at ABC.

How can I apply?
You can apply for the event through our website: www.alumnibusinesscamp.net/applications. You will need to fill in a short questionnaire so that we get to know you and your expectations better, and then to pay the fee for the event. The fee includes participation in the event, four meals (three lunches and one dinner) and all the coffee breaks:

Early bird fee (until 28th of August): €100

Normal fee (until 30th of October): €120

Late comers fee: €150

After you submit the application form, you will be forwarded to the payment details page. Your participation will be confirmed once you have completed the payment. You can then book your flights and accommodation for Tallinn!

http://alumnibusinesscamp.net/announcing-abc-2017-tallinn-25-27-november/#respondThu, 27 Apr 2017 05:10:08 +0000http://alumnibusinesscamp.net/?p=351We know what you have all been thinking about the past couple of weeks: Isn’t it about time that they announced the next edition of ABC? Isn’t one year enough of a break?

So, we are here with some news: we have gathered our strength, refreshed our minds with new ideas and increased our level of motivation. And we couldn’t agree more with you, one year of a break is more than enough. That is why, we are happy to announce that we are organising a new edition of ABC this year!

Are you curious to know more details about it? Then read on!

What?
ABC (standing for Alumni Business Camp) is an event targeted at alumni of BEST with the scope of networking, learning about entrepreneurship, exchanging ideas, and collaborating while having fun. The first edition was organised in 2011 in Berlin and after 5 consecutive editions, we decided to take a break for a year. But here we are, planning and organising ABC 2017!

Where?
This year’s edition will be organised in one of the most dynamic places in Europe, with regard to entrepreneurship: Tallinn, the capital of Estonia! The city, and the country in general, do not only boast a very advanced e-society (promoted by the term ‘E-stonia’), but also a great environment for business, entrepreneurship and innovation. The exact location of the event is not known yet, but we are looking for options that are centrally located and easily reachable. If you have any ideas, just ping us.

When?
ABC will take place from Saturday 25th until Monday 27th of November. We aim at keeping the usual starting and stopping hours for Saturday and Monday respectively (around noon), to ease the arrival and departure of the participants.

What’s new in this edition?
The elapse of one year without ABC could only be justified with extra creativity for the event, that is why we have some new things to spice up this year’s edition. Here are some teasers:

ABC 2017 will have a theme! We are currently busy brainstorming on the content of the event and plan to have a big part of the event directly connected to the theme.

ABC 2017 will feature a post-event program! We refer to it with codename ‘DEF’ and it will run from 27th until 29th of November. This will allow participants to continue working on their ABC ideas and help bridge ABC with Slush, for those that wish to join both events.

ABC 2017 will be from Saturday to Monday! To accommodate the post-event program and try something new, we will shift the usual days of the event. We hope that this will also make it easier for participants to travel to and from the event.

This is all for now, but there is more coming! We will keep you updated on the progress of the organisation and you can expect the beginning of the application period sometime in the beginning of June. In the meantime, you can follow updates on this website, twitter account or facebook page!

http://alumnibusinesscamp.net/exciting-news-about-abc2015/#respondThu, 16 Apr 2015 22:03:21 +0000http://alumnibusinesscamp.net/?p=326It is that time of the year when we bring you news about new edition of ABC. However, instead of announcing the location and dates, this year we have more exciting news to share: new leadership of the ABC team. Krzysztof Kobyłecki a.k.a. Chris Moose, alumni of LBG Kraków, is taking lead of the new generation of ABC(s). Read on to find out more and expect an email with details about ABC2015 from Chris in the coming weeks.

Four years ago Alumni Business Camp was born out of one email sent to our alumni mailing list that sparked the desire for us to connect, network and learn from each other on a professional level. From Berlin, through Barcelona and Brussels, to Budapest (notice a pattern?) together we got inspired by both success and failure stories from our friends, dared each other to quit our day job, gave feedback to new ideas and much, much more.

With each edition we tried to innovate, improve and make ABC even better. Changing the location and always getting new members in the organizing team helped us do that. And now it is time to make a bigger change.

We (Tassos and Filip) have been in charge (for better or worse :)) from the very beginning. It was a pleasure and an exciting challenge to plan the event. Starting from a simple schedule in Berlin to parallel tracks with presentations, workshops, mentoring and networking in Budapest, we’ve done our best to improve the quality and bring content for the diverse interest of ABC participants. Now it is time for us to look at other challenges and let fresh ideas and leadership bring ABC to the new level.

Chris is working as an Associate at the Innovation Nest, a seed/VC fund in Kraków. In the past two years he helped us with the content for ABC and showed interest to help even more in the future. We approached Chris because we believed that his passion, experience and network are a perfect match to take the lead of the ABC team. And we were happy when he, after serious consideration, accepted the challenge. Since then we had several calls to ensure understanding of tasks and a proper knowledge transfer.

So this is it. The start of the new era of ABC (and maybe it’s time to break the pattern :)). More information about ABC2015 will follow from Chris in the next weeks.

Goodbye for now,
Tassos and Filip

http://alumnibusinesscamp.net/90-applications/#respondSun, 10 Aug 2014 21:24:03 +0000http://alumnibusinesscamp.net/?p=190Out of more than 90 applications we received in June, we already have more than 60 confirmed participants. This is a great sign as it is already a bigger number than in the first years of ABC. It still has a potential to surpass last years’ 84 participants as it is common to have both late applications and late confirmations due to the holidays season and our target audience being quite busy bunch of people.

We’re getting busy with arranging the content for all these amazing people and we hope you will like what we are planning. More details will come as things get defined and confirmed.

If you do have ideas or suggestions on how to bring knowledge, inspiration and value in 2.5 days of ABC, even if you can’t come to it, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
